Mr. Ali Hericshi, who will work live in front of visitors at the Bilkent Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture Art Gallery from March 19 - 22, is an artist, a painter and an academician and has been teaching in the Fine Arts Department at Gazi University since 1992. Hericshi was born in Baku in 1958 and graduated from the Industrial Design Department of the İncesanat University of Baku/Azerbaycan.

Ali Hericshi is also a dreamer, who believes that in the contemporary world, visual arts are on the verge of the greatest change ever, and once that change is complete, the world will be saved from the worst evil - insincerity. He sees national traditions, style and an epoch itself, as secondary to the ability to speak from one's inner, secretive self, using personal language, free from clichés and repetition.
The exhibition-performance of Ali Hericshi is not, strictly speaking, an exhibition. Nor is it a performance.

As Ali explains it, the exhibition will sprout out of a single point as a tree grows from a solitary seed. The point will turn into a line, the lines will multiply, grow into images in the presence of anyone who cares to see the magic - birth of the entire exhibition. The most important part is to find a "true" starting point, whether it is going to become a "vanishing point," to which all of the lines finally recede, or the "point of view."

The performance is called the "Squiggle game," which is, as the description goes, "a pencil-and-paper technique for eliciting children's thoughts and feelings."
It is Ali Hericshi's belief that adults' thoughts and feelings will be elicited by this performance.
